2 More Lost Today

Just from watching the news report with the wind. It doesn't look like an awesome day to be flying super low

I always hope the crashes are due to dumbassery.
I can mitigate dumbassedness w/ meticulous routines.

I can't mitigate the wing snapping off.

I couldn't agree more. I hate reading accident reports involving mechanical failure.

Being the youngest of ten kids...seven of us boys...I got witness a lot of dumbassey and learn from it instead of being required to commit it myself.



And, boy, did I witness a lot!



Committed quite a bit too, unfortunately! :)

Being the youngest I would have suspected that you would have been the victim of it!
 
Jay, I immediately thought of you when I saw the initial report. Because I assumed you knew the occupants at least partially. (small island)

Since the latest report mentions more aviation deaths in the family, this get intriguing. Can somebody look up the NTSB reports on the previous family accidents? I am curious now.

Of course it is way too early for any conclusions and so far only speculations run rampant through the media, especially with one witness reporting the engine rev before the crash. I have yet to see/read a speculation on low-level flight getting too slow followed by a full-power climbout with a stall.

Airplanes don't just fall out of the sky, we (pilots) help tremendously.
 
The way I read it was other deaths in the family of the plane's owner, not the families of the recent decedents. That might make them more distant from Jay, and harder to peg which accidents they were.

This is the 2005 Lundell accident. It was notably odd at the time because, when first responders showed up to what they believed was probably a fatal accident scene, they couldn't find a body. Turned out the pilot's father (who was later killed in the 2011 crash) had observed the crash, found his son dead, and took the body home in the back of his pickup truck.

Here are links regarding the second Lundell family crash, in 2011.
